The definition of what qualifies as real next gen just changes with you on a case by case basis. Strangely always to the benefit of PS5 and the detriment of Xbox. You've already said in this thread that immersion is huge for next gen, even if the core gameplay hasn't changed. You saw no gameplay of HFW, just a cinematic that showed us zero new gameplay elements but it was still ok because "it looked great". Yet somehow Halo looking great on XSX would still not be next gen. It boils down to what I said earlier, you can have the exact same situation on both consoles but the fact that the XSX also has an Xbone version of the games somehow makes it wrong lol.
Also, the more important question you should be asking in regards to LoU HD/LoU2 is what innovations or enhancements to gameplay have there been to justify such a long development time, removal of MP, and lowering of resolution and frame rate? Because I have double digit hours in LoU2 and so far it's just a more action focused LoU. But again, according to you, the same core gameplay is fine so long as it "looks great". Immersion and graphics above gameplay, even though when you originally started your anti-XSX crusade, it was gameplay before next gen graphics.
I'm replaying the entire Halo franchise right now and I am on CE. You can hit a button to change from OG Xbox graphics to the Halo CE Anniversary 360 graphics. The core game is the same on both settings but Anniversary looks infinitely better and is more immersive. If Halo Infinite launches on XSX and has a much farther draw distance, SSD enhancements, higher resolution and frame rate, and better visuals, by your own definition it's next gen. Until you change that definition to discredit Xbox, of course. Oh wait you just did lol

Everybody knows what real next gen games means man. We've never had a new console generation where we didn't get them. But have we ever heard any console maker say "Here's our brand new next gen console... But your old one will run the same games so you don't really need to buy it".

Oh yeah everyone knows what real next gen means. That’s why your definition shifts constantly. You just zig zagged with it again. Also keep in mind this is subjective. You dismiss 60fps and higher as a waste of next gen power yet to others it’s a great use of it. Either way, it’s utilizing the power of the console.
Also didn’t we just see an Infinite type situation with BotW on Switch and WiiU? Can anyone remind me how that turned out? Is goopster right, people shunned it as it was not “real next gen”? I’m assuming it sold like 11 copies or something.
